Last update : April 1993

xstring - draw strings

### Calling Sequence

  `xstring(x,y,str,[angle,box])`

### Parameters

- `x,y`: real scalars, coordinates of the lower-left point of the strings.
- `str`: matrix of strings.
- `angle`: real, clockwise angle in degree; default is 0.
- `box`: integer, default is 0.

### Description

`xstring` draws the matrix of strings `str` at location `x,y` (lower-left point) in the current graphic scale: each row of the matrix stands for a line of text and row elements stand for words separated by a white space. If `angle` is given, it gives the slope in degree used for drawing the strings. If `box` is 1 and `angle` is 0, a box is drawn around the strings.

### Examples

    plot2d([0;1],[0;1],0)
    xstring(0.5,0.5,["Scilab" "is"; "not" "esilaB"])
    //Other example
    alphabet=["a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" ..
              "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" ..
              "o" "p" "q" "r" "s" "t" "u" ..
              "v" "w" "x" "y" "z"];
    xbasc()
    plot2d([0;1],[0;2],0)
    xstring(0.1,1.8,alphabet)     // alphabet
    xstring(0.1,1.6,alphabet,0,1) // alphabet in a box
    xstring(0.1,1.4,alphabet,20)  // angle
    xset("font",1,1)              // use symbol fonts
    xstring(0.1,0.1,alphabet)
    xset("font",1,3)              // change size font
    xstring(0.1,0.3,alphabet)
    xset("font",1,24); xstring(0.1,0.6,"a") //big alpha
    xset("default")
